The thoughtless imposition of restrictions only aggravates the situation in the U.S. economy
Russia's top envoy to the United States has warned that the sweeping sanctions campaign pursued by President
Joe Biden
and his allies has backfired, instead hurting the U.S.' economy and international prestige during a dangerous period of global instability.
Moscow's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, told
Newsweek

... Putin’s forthcoming visit to New Delhi could be a starting point.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin visits India next week, it will be one of just two foreign trips he has made this year, the other one being his June meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden in Geneva. Putin skipped both the G20 and COP26; an expected trip to China was rescheduled due to COVID; yet the Russian leader has decided to travel to New Delhi.

By virtue of its combined power capabilities, the United States continues to occupy a central place in international politics, and developments inside the country inevitably become the most important factor in world affairs

For Russia, such an escalation would be fraught with the emergence of anti-Russian sanctions to a qualitatively new level, the need to increase military spending (today the Russian leadership is cutting defence spending and is proud ...

U.S.-Russian interaction on strategic stability issues will go hand-in-hand with persistent condemnation and retribution for what Biden calls Russia’s determination to damage and disrupt American democracy.
